Fonts and FreeBSD

A Tutorial

DaveBodenstab

This document contains a description of the various font
files that may be used with FreeBSD and the syscons driver,
X11, Ghostscript
and Groff. Cookbook examples are provided
for switching the syscons display to 80x60 mode, and for using
type 1 fonts with the above application programs.

1.Â Introduction

There are many sources of fonts available, and one might ask
how they might be used with FreeBSD. The answer can be found by
carefully searching the documentation for the component that one
would like to use. This is very time consuming, so this
tutorial is an attempt to provide a shortcut for others who
might be interested.
